Headshots- a builtZmotors photo exclusive! Punish_her's motor
 

ok, now that I got your attention with the catchy title:icon18:

I know we all love pictures, we are currently wrapping up a built longblock for Punish_her, and I decided to take some pics of the ported and polished heads and the progress of assembling and timing a longblock. He wanted me to send him pics, I figured I would share publicly.:D

This particular longblock package included the following:
Wiseco Pistons 96mm
Eagle Rods
HKS Headgaskets
ARP 1/2" headstuds (block machined with timeserts installed)
ARP main studs
Rev up oil pump-18% increased effeciency over stock
Ferrea Valvetrain
Upgraded Cams (customer provided- not sure the brand)
Full port and polish
overhaul gaskets- every gasket new from Nissan
rear main seal
main bearings
rod bearings
thrust washers
machine block (with use of torque plates)
balancing, polish crank
redeck heads and block- to ensure mating surfaces between the block and the heads are exact
Fully assembled/timed longblock

Our price: $9400.00
REMINDER: One of the things that makes BuiltZMotors different, is that we sell all of our longblock packages fully timed! That includes assembly of the timing covers, the upper oil pan, and lower oil pan; the motor is then crated (fully enclosed) and then shipped, ready to drop in!

We are also pleased to anounce that we offer the rear coolant modification for our motors as well!:icon38:

Here's some pics, comparing stock heads to our custom port and polish work (port and polish performed by Jarod Legsdin of SCCA-Southern California Cylinder Heads).

On a bone stock 350z cylinder head, with the port job only, these heads flowed approximately 30CFM over stock- keep in mind these heads are extremely effecient from the factory to begin with. With the added oversized ferrea valvetrain, the heads flow even better (will have flowcharts soon).

This motor took less than 3 weeks to complete from the day the order was placed (the only wait was on machining- as always)... we are aiming to have our turnaround time be less than 2 weeks on custom combination builds (we have 3 more motors in the works as of now, to ensure we will have a healthy inventory at all times), and we will stock one sleeved shortblock and unsleeved shortblock at all times, for immediate shipping, or quick assembly of a longblock package!:eek:

nice i cant wait until i can get one just got to save some money.

AHHH still saving my money. Not going fast enough.

Hey Todd thanks for letting me see your shop. You have tons of room in there. Can't wait to have you build me a motor. Probably in march. Unless I ....ooooopppps.....pop it a little sooner. haha

It's SO PURDY!:icon9: :icon11: :jawdrop:

what kind of power levels do these support?

he can get 620whp without problems

Hey Todd, so what's the additional cost for the pretty headwork and parts on this build?

Hey Brian;
Headwork, oversized valves, cams, figure an additional $4100-4600, depending on parts used...


Thsi particular motor is priced as follows:

Wiseco Pistons 96mm
Eagle Rods
HKS Headgaskets
ARP 1/2" headstuds (block machined with timeserts installed)
ARP main studs
Rev up oil pump-18% increased effeciency over stock
Ferrea Valvetrain
Upgraded Cams (customer provided- not sure the brand)
Full port and polish
overhaul gaskets- every gasket new from Nissan
rear main seal
main bearings
rod bearings
thrust washers
machine block (with use of torque plates)
balancing, polish crank
redeck heads and block- to ensure mating surfaces between the block and the heads are exact
Fully assembled/timed longblock

Our price: $9400.00

The fact that we went with 1/2" head studs and HKS hg's, makes me more comfortable going over 550rwhp on this setup...until the block is sleeved, I won't recommend any more power (not saying that it isn't possible-just too many unknows with how the stock cylinder reacts)...we KNOW that in the darton sleeved block, the cylinders WILL NOT MOVE...that particular bottom end can support huge amounts of power.

Thanks Todd. Why Wiseco pistons instead of Arias EDs?

Wow!!! That seems like a sh*t load of cash for a non-sleeved motor.

Wow, that's more than Cosworth heads!

Very nice Todd...you are doing a great job with the motor built. Do you think with Darton sleeved, ARP L19, HKS gaskets, and Tomei 268 cams with built heads is safe to hit 600whp without the fear of head lift? thanks.

Very nice setup Todd. Thanks for sharing with everyone! :)

this is WITH cams.....without cams, they are less expensive:D

He wanted Wiseco, he's not going for over 600rwhp:eek:

Really nice work, I am also going thourgh my built here in Canada I have a question for you. My built its not as crazy as yours, my question is do I need the ARP L19 head studs or will the normal ARP's be good enough 500rwhp with HKS HGs ??? I can seem to find the L19's should i be ok without them??

shop around, this is the best pricing for this setup..keep in mind, lots of head work..full port and polish, not just gutting out the runners with a dremel:D

also, 1/2" head studs require lots of machining to do it right...hks headgaskets are not cheap..the ferrea valvetrain is pricey...most of the cost is parts

..and we time the motor and provide additional work that you would be paying someone else to do:D

But you mentioned above that the customer supplied the cams. I'm confused.
